China is ramping up its efforts in the blockchain space with a bold claim: its state-backed blockchain infrastructure now supports more than 100,000 transactions per second (TPS). This puts it well ahead of traditional public blockchains like Ethereum and even Solana, which are known for speed but still fall short of that benchmark.
The announcement came from Beijing this week and reflects China’s growing emphasis on building out its digital economy through controlled, centralized technologies. This blockchain is part of the country’s Blockchain-based Service Network (BSN), a government-supported initiative aimed at creating an interoperable, permission-based infrastructure for businesses and institutions.
Why Transaction Speed Matters
Transaction speed is crucial for scalability, especially as blockchain applications expand into areas like finance, logistics, and identity verification. A system capable of 100,000 TPS could process real-time transactions for millions of users without congestion or high fees — problems that have plagued decentralized networks during periods of high demand.
By achieving this level of throughput, China is positioning its blockchain infrastructure as a competitive alternative to Western systems. While many blockchains strive for decentralization, China is prioritizing performance and control, appealing to institutions over individuals.
A Strategic Digital Play by Beijing
This move is part of a larger strategy by China to dominate the digital infrastructure race, which also includes advancements in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and AI governance. The country’s focus on a controlled blockchain ecosystem contrasts sharply with the open-source ethos of most global crypto communities.
By backing its own blockchain network, China aims to reduce reliance on foreign technology and build a sovereign digital framework that aligns with its governance model.
